Wetlands are considered the Earth’s kidneys because of their ability to clean the soil from heavy metals to produce potable water. But for most ASEAN communities, wetlands are their lifeline, as wetlands help protect them from storm surges, provide ecotourism opportunities, and serve as a source of livelihood. As we celebrate this year’s #WorldWetlandsDay, we encourage everyone to be on the lookout for sustainable initiatives for wetland conservation that you can take part in. Every action counts in saving the Earth’s most threatened ecosystem! #worldwetlandsday2024 #WeAreASEANBiodiversity #ASEANBiodiversity #aseancentreforbiodiversity

Through the sacred 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝘂 (temporary fishing closures) and the establishment of a 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮 (𝗠𝗣𝗔), locals are not only restoring ecosystems but securing their livelihoods. Led by 𝗪𝗪𝗙-𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 and supported by 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝗖𝗥𝘅𝗡), these efforts are showing remarkable success. Schools of mullet, baby sharks, and faster-growing sea grapes are testament to the positive impacts.

THE ART OF WETLAND CONSERVATION: CAPTURING NATURE'S BEAUTY Wetland conservation is a vital practice that intertwines environmental stewardship with natural artistry. These ecosystems, brimming with biodiversity, act as nature’s water purifiers and carbon sinks. Protecting wetlands ensures the survival of myriad species, maintains water quality, and mitigates climate change impacts. The lush landscapes of wetlands, adorned with vibrant flora and diverse fauna, offer breathtaking vistas and essential habitats. Efforts to conserve and restore wetlands not only preserve these picturesque scenes but also support sustainable livelihoods for local communities. Through careful management and community engagement, we can capture and protect the inherent beauty of wetlands for future generations. #WetlandConservation #Biodiversity #SustainableLiving
